WHY
MAKE
COMPOST?
Compost is one of nature’s best mulches and soil amendments,
and you can use it instead of commercial fertilizers. Best
of all, compost is cheap. You can make it without spending a
cent. Using compost improves soil structure, texture, and
aeration and increases the soil’s water-holding capacity.
Compost loosens clay soils and helps sandy soils retain water.
Adding compost improves soil fertility and stimulates healthy
root development in plants. The organic matter provided in
compost provides food for microorganisms, which keeps the soil
in a healthy, balanced condition. Nitrogen, potassium, and
phosphorus will be produced naturally by the feeding of
microorganisms, so few if any soil amendments will need to be
added.
